重叠出现:

def olpcount(string,pattern,case_sensitive=True):
    if case_sensitive != True:
        string  = string.lower()
        pattern = pattern.lower()
    l = len(pattern)
    ct = 0
    for c in range(0,len(string)):
        if string[c:c+l] == pattern:
            ct += 1
    return ct

test = 'my maaather lies over the oceaaan'
print test
print olpcount(test,'a')
print olpcount(test,'aa')
print olpcount(test,'aaa')

结果:

my maaather lies over the oceaaan
6
4
2

String.count (substring)，例如:

>>> "abcdabcva".count("ab")
2

这是针对非重叠事件的。 如果你需要计算重叠的次数，你最好检查这里的答案，或者检查下面我的其他答案。

这里有一个解决方案，适用于非重叠和重叠的情况。为了澄清:重叠子字符串是指其最后一个字符与其第一个字符相同的子字符串。

def substr_count(st, sub):
    # If a non-overlapping substring then just
    # use the standard string `count` method
    # to count the substring occurences
    if sub[0] != sub[-1]:
        return st.count(sub)

    # Otherwise, create a copy of the source string,
    # and starting from the index of the first occurence
    # of the substring, adjust the source string to start
    # from subsequent occurences of the substring and keep
    # keep count of these occurences
    _st = st[::]
    start = _st.index(sub)
    cnt = 0

    while start is not None:
        cnt += 1
        try:
            _st = _st[start + len(sub) - 1:]
            start = _st.index(sub)
        except (ValueError, IndexError):
            return cnt

    return cnt

对于一个有空格分隔的简单字符串，使用Dict会非常快，请参阅下面的代码

def getStringCount(mnstr:str, sbstr:str='')->int:
    """ Assumes two inputs string giving the string and 
        substring to look for number of occurances 
        Returns the number of occurances of a given string
    """
    x = dict()
    x[sbstr] = 0
    sbstr = sbstr.strip()
    for st in mnstr.split(' '):
        if st not in [sbstr]:
            continue
        try:
            x[st]+=1
        except KeyError:
            x[st] = 1
    return x[sbstr]

s = 'foo bar foo test one two three foo bar'
getStringCount(s,'foo')

一种方法是使用re.subn。例如，要数的数量 'hello'出现在任何混合情况下，你可以做:

import re
_, count = re.subn(r'hello', '', astring, flags=re.I)
print('Found', count, 'occurrences of "hello"')

你可以使用startwith方法:

def count_substring(string, sub_string):
    x = 0
    for i in range(len(string)):
        if string[i:].startswith(sub_string):
            x += 1
    return x
